    My favorite part of church...the extravagant visual it provides of the body of Christ...large and various and challenging. The church does not live in the walls of the building we go to on Sunday. It is vast and colorful and full of language and song, a cacophony of glory to the Lord.

    My favorite part of church at the moment is having people side by side to praise God with.

    My favorite is finding the organic elements, the way it unfolds and folds back in, always changing, always evolving.

    So much! Beyond my husband, the pastor (which I guess is kind of cheating), I would say how loved my children feel by the people in the community. My kids L.O.V.E going to church and that warms my heart. It is, for them, a fun, loving, place where they encounter the Christ I want them to learn about in the people that hug them as they walk in.

    I love sitting in rows and hearing the ruffling of Bible pages on a Sunday morning. <3

    Where I least expected blessing - love that, because sometimes it's so true. My favorite part - music/worship.

    I attend a small multi-generational church in the country. I often joke that my church *is* my small group.

    The youngest member is 4 months old, and the oldest is 90.

    My favorite part of church is when, like a family, we see each other's faults and weaknesses and chose to extend grace and to love anyway.
